Does anyone know a way to run a command line prompt directly on HoloLens or access HoloLens from the host PC via a command line?

I have not found a way to do this. It doesn't appear that there is a way to start CMD or Powershell from the HoloLens. I've also attempted to connect via my desktop via pssession to the device and that doesn't work. Not surprising though, these components have probably been removed from the windows operating environment.
Thanks for the response, looks like I am not the only one who wants this functionality. I used DesktopAppConverter that works with the latest Windows 10 Preview build to convert a Win32 shell app (GitBash in my case) into a UWP app to see if it runs on HoloLens. The conversion for GitBash hangs since the installer hangs, possibly because it does not understand the unattended install command-line option. I'll experiment more when I get some time and post results, want to try converting Cmd.exe and installers for Windows version of Python and Node.js
Alas, Windows Console doesn't currently support HoloLens - we're working to fix that in time though
Thanks @Bitcrazed, please keep us updated, would love to beta-test this for you once there is something.
@Bitcrazed sounds great, would love powershell functionality to test a few things on Hololens. Keep us posted
same here powershell option into HoloLens would make my/our life easy
@Bitcrazed is there a possibility to execute commands on the HoloLens already? I would really need this for a programme, in which I want to get WiFi data of my surroundings.
hello, any update on this?
